Julia Scott - moth wings

- <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > Have you ever held a moth in your hands and it left glittery powder on your fingers? You might not be able to see it, but that powder is in fact tiny scales. Like feathers, those scales create pockets of insulation to keep the moth warm and provide heat for better muscle regulation during flight. They also provide camouflage through shimmering colours and delicate patterns. Just as lace can disguise the body, while simultaneously revealing everything. Armed with just a scalpel, Julia overlays delicate floral, botanical, and geometric lace patterns with moth silhouettes, leaving behind a sprinkling of tiny paper scales in her wake. Profile Julia Scott is a Wellington-based artist who specialises in paper art, with each piece meticulously cut out of paper by hand. Drawn to intricate paper collages while working towards a BFA, she also creates large scale hand-cut street maps by commission. She currently spends most of her time trail running with her dogs, working in environmental communications, and volunteering with the Remutaka Conservation Trust. @julia_scottbeetham

- <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > My compositions come directly from my own experience, such as my local surroundings, places I’ve explored or friends I was with. I try to keep the subjects varied to reflect the diversity of New Zealand landscapes. Architecture is my main passion and I enjoy painting the bright and colourful street scenes around Wellington to capture the way they harmonise with the surrounding nature. I’m currently based in Hataitai and hope to paint more harbour views of Wellington in the coming months.
